Moral of the story: Republicans are very very worry about Obama (the thoughts of a second term drives them crazy)
At least that's how I take it.
The Republicans have their press engine to thank for

running at full speed to trample on Mr. Obama.
It must be hard on Obama all that pressure . . . . . .from those politicized news.
America needs at least 4 political parties imo to spread even the bastards LOL. I'm neither a Democrat nor Republican supporter. I'm not even a US citizen but I'm concerned how some media is trying hard to pull down Mr Obama's popularity with charged news. I don't see that with any previous US president. Bush went unpopular genuinely and credibly on his last days due to his own actions and policies for example.
My worry is not that the Americans would antagonize the president(largely due to Republican media attempt) but rather the President antagonizing the Americans. I live thousand of miles away yet I feel that Mr Obama is being cooked up there.
